Some days, I don't have the words to describe how I am feeling. This past week, it has been tough to wrap my head around what happened, let alone to parse together my thoughts into any semblance of a coherent thought.

I believe we are not too far gone to recover, but I also believe both sides have blood on their hands. I did the best I could to explain how I feel. Enjoy, disregard, up to you.
